What is the smallest fresh water fish that can live in 1 gallon of water and live for 2 months?

Question

Doing a scool project plez help! :^)

Answer 1

none, because thats not suitable for any fish yata yata yata

Answer 2

Same here, not suitable and all that jazz.

A sparkling gourami. Tiny little fish with the ability of breathing air from the surface.

Answer 3

il say the same thing,

most people will say none, because thats not suitable for any fish yata yata yata , but before i put my male betta in a suitable home (1.5 gallon filtered tank), i had him in a 1 gallon bowl for a year, now that hes in a filtered tank, hes never had any problems, and now hes over 2 years old, which is pretty good id say, and i expect him to live for much longer now. if u plan on gettin a fish, i would get a betta, and a betta only (male or female, but only one if gender), and if possible, upgrade to anything bigger with a filter, so that they can live as long as possible... good luck with it

Answer 4

I would say a betta but they are NOT the smallest. Only buy ONE because they are VERY aggressive with other betta. It doesn't matter if it's a male or female, they will KILL each other.

Answer 5

Get a betta. They aren't the 'smallest' but they have special breathing mechanisms that allow them to live in smaller areas of water. If it's for a school project, I suggest getting a betta. The cheapest one you can get will cost you about $3.

I've done it before and my betta has lived almost a year. It would've lived longer except I left the top open and it jumped out. (I was an idiot about fish care back then :P)

So if can certainly be done.

I hope this helps!

Answer 6

There's still nothing suitable. You need a proper filtered tank for fish. Schools should not be encouraging experimenting on fish.

"Small" fish like bettas live a lot longer than 2 months. Bettas at 4-5 years, guppies at 4-8 years, neon tetras at 8-10 years. Annual killifish only live for a year, you'd have to go to a killifish society to get them though.
